"Sir, borrow a fire."

A weak voice came from overhead, the light was dim, Lin Chen looked at the leather boots on the ground, took out a box of matches from his pocket, and handed it up.

"Don't you smoke?"

Xing Conglian's voice sounded a little surprised, so the sentence just now was more like a joke or a tease.

"The match from the hotel, I took it when I went out."

"Why do you go out with matches?"

"Whatever you want."

"I thought it was specially given to me." The torturer Lian muttered casually and sat down on the steps beside him, "I don't know, can I light it......"

After speaking, the man swiped the match casually at the phosphorus strip on the side, and with a stabbing sound, the flames and green smoke floated together.

"Am I still a transshipment?" The convict stared at the flames and asked him.

"You've been unlucky." There was a warm aura around him, Lin Chen said almost helplessly.

"Huh?"

"Thankfully, it was raining heavily and the students were hesitant to rush out of the classroom, so they just bought some time." Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked again, "What did you find on the stairs?" ”

"You really didn't sneak to the scene?" Xing Conglian turned his head slightly and asked in a skeptical tone.

"No, I've always listened to my leaders." Lin Chen replied.

......At the last moment when the match burned out, the convict finally lit a cigarette, he took a deep puff of tobacco, and spoke softly, "plastic beads, glass, tacks, ......"

In the voice of the torture conglian, there was not much emotion, and at this time, the sound of the rain was so small that it was almost inaudible.

"That's how it should be."

Lin Chen didn't have any surprises, if he instigated the students to riot and wanted to cause a stampede, then sprinkling some gadgets on the stairs was really the most suitable choice. The continuous emergencies for days have completely stretched their nerves to the limit, and after suddenly relaxing, they don't even have the strength to be afraid, only full of tiredness.

This state was not good, and time was pressing, and even respite became extravagant, even so, he did not continue, but quietly, waiting for the sentence to finish smoking a cigarette.

"Say, what is the collective unconscious?" The torturer extinguished the cigarette butt and turned to look at him.

"Why do you have such a good memory?" Lin Chen looked at the pitch-black night sky, there was no half a ray of starlight there, it was extremely dark, but it seemed more vast and far-reaching, if it wasn't for the fact that the ground was too wet, he almost wanted to lie down on the steps.

"I remember a lot of what you said very well."

Xing Conglian's tone was too natural, Lin Chen smiled lowly, and simply lay down on the steps, he pillowed his head with his hands, and said, "For example, under normal circumstances, would the students rebel against the school's arrangement, yell loudly, and want to rush out of the classroom while the chaos is in chaos?" ”

"Of course not."

"Then have you ever wondered what they were doing all of a sudden?"

"Doesn't it mean that because it's dark, and someone is taking advantage of the chaos to deliberately incite them?"

"In fact, the fans of the rock music concert during the day will also riot, and the fans are prone to riots after the team loses, which has nothing to do with the time, environment, or place, only the people. Digging deeper, the question becomes this: why do humans become so easily incited by trivial things to take extreme actions? ”

"Advisor Lin~" Xing Conglian said, lying down suddenly, his tail tone was a little raised, and he sounded very lazy, "Don't ask questions, you say, I'll listen." ”

"This is a matter of mass psychology, and we often find that in a crowded collective, people dare to do a lot that they would not do at all when they are alone, they burn and loot, they have no shame, no sense of morality, no sense of law...... Because at that time, they lost their self......"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he paused deliberately, waiting for the torturer to follow his words.

But this time, it was different from the previous situation, beside him, the torturer was even breathing, his eyes were lightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

The night was quiet, and the rain stopped imperceptibly.

Lin Chen had the illusion of being used as a hypnotic device, he raised his eyebrows, sat up, put his hands on his legs, turned his head, looked at Xing Conglian quietly, and said slowly: "If you hadn't fallen asleep, you would probably say, well, lose yourself, this seems to be somewhat similar to Wang Shishi, Xu Haozhen, Jiang Liu, and them......"

Actually, it's true, the collective unconscious, which is a very terrible psychological phenomenon that does exist. Normally, people are rational and thinking beings, but once rational human beings enter a group, their individual personality will quickly be disintegrated, reason and self-control will be lost, and people's natural impulses will be released, and most of the tragedies of all races and massacres stem from this. If you have to find a term related to hypnosis, it is group hypnosis. ”

"So, how similar is Wang Shishi's suicide to tonight's events?"

Suddenly, Lin Chen saw that the torture conglian moved his mouth lightly and said in a low voice.

His voice was low, like a plucked cello string, clearing the night.

Lin Chen's heart trembled, inexplicably, there was a feeling of being caught doing bad things, he rubbed his forehead, and then said: "This kind of tragedy is very similar to Cheng Dù, because people have the inertia of thinking, even criminals, they will repeatedly choose the same method to commit crimes." Actually, we should really be glad that we have survived this wave, and we have also got a lot of clues......"

"Wang Shishi and they are in a certain group, and that group has been accused by others, so that all the students in the group have lost themselves?" The convict concluded.

"Sounds like a fantasy novel, doesn't it?" Lin Chen said, got up from the steps, and continued: "If this is a group of students committing violence against another group of students, like the violence of a foreign fraternity or sorority, then it is easy to see that this is an atrocity led by the collective unconscious, but they chose to commit suicide, which can only show that ......"

"Huh?"

"The faith and cohesion of their group is far beyond our imagination, and we know nothing about those things."

"It's horror fiction."

The Torture Conglian seriously corrected him.

Lin Chen sighed, got up from the steps, and asked, "Are you really not sleeping for a while?" ”

"Didn't you sleep too?" The convict Lian leaned on the steps and asked with a smile.

"But you're overusing your brain today."

"Consultant Lin, are you feeling sorry for me?"

In the darkness of the night, there was no sound around.

Xing Conglian was soaking wet, and the light in the corridor only laid a thin layer on him, so faint that Lin Chen could barely see his face clearly, but his voice and breath were too clear.

"yes." Lin Chen replied seriously.

"Hey, I also feel sorry for Advisor Lin, but it seems that we have to stay up all night today."

The torturer Lian said, holding out his hand to him.

He pulled him up, and then saw that he stroked his face with his hands indifferently and said: "The failure to lure the students into a riot tonight is more like a whim than a well-planned action, and there are no student casualties today, which may lead to two situations tomorrow, first, they abandon their original plan and lie dormant; Second, something big will happen tomorrow...... Which situation do you think is more likely to happen? ”

"We can't afford to gamble." Lin Chen shook his head, "There are less than 40 hours left, and every second after that, something may happen." ”

"It's really miserable...... "The convict walked in front of him with his hands in his pockets, "the only needle in a haystack of hope has been destroyed, is there any way to find the members of that group?" ”

"Actually, there was no complete failure." Lin Chen looked up, and there was still some light in the teaching building in the distance, which was the computer test team specially arranged by Xing Conglian before, "Have you forgotten, now we still have two classes of numbers available." ”

"I didn't forget, I specially brought it up, waiting for you to praise me."

Xing Conglian said, took out his mobile phone and shook it: "Professor Fu just sent a text message saying that the test is over." ”

Lin Chen frowned, quickly took out his mobile phone, and wanted to dial over.

But the prisoner's movements were faster, and he pressed the call button and handed over the phone.

"Old torture, is there something wrong with you, I just heard a lot of movement."

"It's me." Lin Chen said into the phone.

"Senior brother! Are you alright, I heard that there is a power outage in the teaching building, and there are students making trouble? What about the old punishment, what happened to the old punishment? ”

On the other end of the phone, Fu Hao couldn't stand the chatter again.

He immediately interrupted the topic: "I'm fine, he's fine, is the result out?" ”

There was a voice from the earpiece, as if someone had snatched the phone, and after a while, Wang Dynasty's brisk voice rang out: "Ah Chen, I have dealt with the number of jù according to the conditions you gave before, and the only one who meets your screening conditions is only one girl, surnamed Jin, named Xiao An, and her name is quite cute." ”

Jin Xiaoan...... Is there a social connection with the deceased in this case? ”

"There is no obvious connection, after all, the department is too far apart, and Jin Xiaoan, who studied medicine, has never participated in any school clubs."

"Medical school?" Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "When I was in college, our psychology department and medical school students took public classes together, such as the ideological and political classes, you check the class schedule. ”

"Okay, give me thirty seconds!"

After the crackling keyboard sound, Lin Chen heard Wang Dynasty take a sharp breath.

"Damn, Jin Xiaoan and Jiang Liu have been on politics 2 together, what is politics 2 Ah Chen?"

"It's a class that makes it easy to develop friendships between classmates and extracurricular reading skills." Lin Chen patted the torture conglian, and the two stood still under the street lamp, "Which dormitory does Jin Xiaoan live in?" ”

"Building 7 201."

"Your boss and I are now in the open space downstairs in the computer room, you and Fu Hao can come down together......

"Are we going to the girls' dormitory to play, that's great!" Wang Chao said happily.
